‘The Newsroom’ Season 2 Trailer Is Life’s Greatest Mystery

Is it possible to love anything as much as Aaron Sorkin loves cable news?
Why was this filmed in the desert?
Who thought putting a desk in the desert was a good idea?
What if the trailer isn’t a metaphor and season two will literally take place in the desert?
Could a scorpion replace Don?
Who is singing that song?
Is it Coldplay?
Or is it a terrible Coldplay wannabe?
Is “Coldplay wannabe” the worst thing you can call a band?

Does Jeff Daniels dream a dream of Jeff Daniels?
Has anyone ever thrown their smartphone in real life?
Has anyone ever then followed up their smartphone hurl with tossing their martini in someone’s face?
Didn’t HBO already do similar trailers for every season of Six Feet Under?
Did the entire cast have to attend “dramatically looking off into the distance” boot camp?
Wouldn’t The Newsroom be a better show if it wasn’t about news and renamed itself The Afroman Happy Hour?
Where did Sam Waterston get that glass of scotch?
Can I get a glass scotch right now?
Why isn’t Jane Fonda on every billboard?
Are we apologetic for not posting this yesterday during “Red Wedding” fever? (No.)
How can that TV be on when there’s CLEARLY no electrical outlets for miles?
And most importantly, the f*ck is going on?

I was really hoping the trailer was just gonna be 23 seconds long and consist of Sam Waterson cracking open a bottle of scotch, saying “Let the hate watching…. RESUME!” then slamming 1/3 of it down before answering a call with “Go fuck yourself!” then attending to the other 2/3s. *Sigh*… there’s always next season

Who thinks that having Jane Fonda on a billboard is going to make anyone else watch?
Is this a plot to make HBO buy out Sorkin’s contract and shut this stupidity down?
Does Coldplay suck more or less than U2?
Does Sam Waterston still read every line like he’s waiting for the cue card to change, like he did on Law & Order?

I sincerely enjoyed every episode of the first season of this show and am looking forward to season 2. Sure, it was preachy and the characters tended to react perfectly to every major news situation with the benefit of hindsight, but whatever.

No offense, but as I was reading this, all I could think was “wow, Danger is usually way funnier when he does these”. Then I looked at who wrote it. It’s not that it’s not funny, it’s just that you have a co-worker who knocks this style article out of the park on a regular basis, and yours wasn’t that.

What I’m getting at is this, stop stealing DG’s gimmick or I will red wedding your family.
I’m glad we had this talk.

Granted, The creators can get a little bit over zealous when it comes to emotional display and interpretation, but I will never understand people who dislike this show. The drama borderlines on masterful and all of it is taken from experiences that we Americans have felt and shared with one another. When did it become liberal to care about human well-being? Even King George offered bread lines.
